    Morning All

    I woke up about an hour ago and couldn't get back to sleep so I'll be shattered tonight.

    Is this in readiness for the baby that's coming or for one you've already got?

  • Ergh. Up with sparrerfart this morning.

    Had tea.

    Fed Cats.

    Got Minion up.

    Came back to bed.


    Will be changing bedlinen and going over bathrooms today, I think.

    If I don't go back to sleep in the next five minutes.......
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Goodintentions sweetie, you're dealing with a lot of emotional stress. Cut yourself some slack - if it was another Flylady resorting to the chippy and not flying under these circumstances would you think her a failure? No! - So you aren't a failure, OK? I wish there was something I could say/do to make it better - but will continue with the posi-vibes and hope at least that your Uncle is pain-free, and that your Sister has as good a day tomorrow as possible. (((HUG)))
    Another one supporting the chippy decision - and sending you all posi-vibes.

    This is for the one we already got. We had always agreed we would wait til after we were married to have her Christened but I fell pregnant almost straight after and the pregnancy and work issues kind of took over and we never got around to it. Our other two had their own day and I want the same for the littlies too so trying to do it before the new one arrives. we are booked for 17th July. I still have no venue for the afterwards either. :eek: must get cracking..

    Pigpen, i just had a read back and saw about squeak. I really feel for you both and hope she is on the mend soon. ((hugs)) xx
